Summary

Buffer overflow in the RPC library used by libgssrpc and kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (krb5) 1.4 through 1.6.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering a large number of open file descriptors.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    adding 'v4_mode=none' (without the quotes) to the '[kdcdefaults]'
    section of /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf.
    
    Jeff Altman of Secure Endpoints discovered a flaw in the RPC library
    as used by MIT Kerberos kadmind server. An unauthenticated remote
    attacker could use this flaw to crash kadmind or possibly execute
    arbitrary code. This issue only affected systems with certain resource
    limits configured and did not affect systems using default resource
    limits used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. (CVE-2008-0947)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank MIT for reporting these issues.
    
    Multiple memory management flaws were discovered in the GSSAPI library
    used by MIT Kerberos. These flaws could possibly result in use of
    already freed memory or an attempt to free already freed memory blocks
    (double-free flaw), possibly causing a crash or arbitrary code
    execution. (CVE-2007-5901, CVE-2007-5971)
    
    In addition to the security issues resolved above, the following bugs
    were also fixed :
    
    * delegated krb5 credentials were not properly stored when SPNEGO was
    the underlying mechanism during GSSAPI authentication. Consequently,
    applications attempting to copy delegated Kerberos 5 credentials into
    a credential cache received an 'Invalid credential was supplied'
    message rather than a copy of the delegated credentials. With this
    update, SPNEGO credentials can be properly searched, allowing
    applications to copy delegated credentials as expected.
    
    * applications can initiate context acceptance (via
    gss_accept_sec_context) without passing a ret_flags value that would
    indicate that credentials were delegated. A delegated credential
    handle should have been returned in such instances. This updated
    package adds a temp_ret_flag that stores the credential status in the
    event no other ret_flags value is passed by an application calling
    gss_accept_sec_context.
    
    * kpasswd did not fallback to TCP on receipt of certain errors, or
    when a packet was too big for UDP. This update corrects this.
    
    * when the libkrb5 password-routine generated a set-password or
    change-password request, incorrect sequence numbers were generated for
    all requests subsequent to the first request. This caused password
    change requests to fail if the primary server was unavailable. This
    updated package corrects this by saving the sequence number value
    after the AP-REQ data is built and restoring this value before the
    request is generated.
    
    * when a user's password expired, kinit would not prompt that user to
    change the password, instead simply informing the user their password
    had expired. This update corrects this behavior: kinit now prompts for
    a new password to be set when a password has expired.
    
    All krb5 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
    contain backported fixes to address these vulnerabilities and fix
    these bugs."

    Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and
    servers to authenticate to each other through use of symmetric
    encryption and a trusted third party, the KDC.
    
    A flaw was found in the way the MIT Kerberos Authentication Service
    and Key Distribution Center server (krb5kdc) handled Kerberos v4
    protocol packets. An unauthenticated remote attacker could use this
    flaw to crash the krb5kdc daemon, disclose portions of its memory, or

    v4 protocol requests. (CVE-2008-0062, CVE-2008-0063)
    
    This issue only affected krb5kdc with Kerberos v4 protocol
    compatibility enabled, which is the default setting on Red Hat
    Enterprise Linux 4. Kerberos v4 protocol support can be disabled by
    adding 'v4_mode=none' (without the quotes) to the '[kdcdefaults]'
    section of /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf.
    
    A flaw was found in the RPC library used by the MIT Kerberos kadmind
    server. An unauthenticated remote attacker could use this flaw to
    crash kadmind. This issue only affected systems with certain resource
    limits configured and did not affect systems using default resource
    limits used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 or 3. (CVE-2008-0948)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank MIT for reporting these issues.
    
    All krb5 users are advised to update to these erratum packages which
    contain backported fixes to correct these issues."

    "From Red Hat Security Advisory 2008:0164 :
    
    Updated krb5 packages that resolve several issues and fix multiple
    bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
    
    This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the
    Red Hat Security Response Team.
    
    Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and
    servers to authenticate to each other through use of symmetric
    encryption and a trusted third party, the KDC.
    
    A flaw was found in the way the MIT Kerberos Authentication Service
    and Key Distribution Center server (krb5kdc) handled Kerberos v4
    protocol packets. An unauthenticated remote attacker could use this
    flaw to crash the krb5kdc daemon, disclose portions of its memory, or
    possibly execute arbitrary code using malformed or truncated Kerberos
    v4 protocol requests. (CVE-2008-0062, CVE-2008-0063)
    
    This issue only affected krb5kdc with Kerberos v4 protocol
    compatibility enabled, which is the default setting on Red Hat
    Enterprise Linux 4. Kerberos v4 protocol support can be disabled by
    adding 'v4_mode=none' (without the quotes) to the '[kdcdefaults]'
    section of /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf.
    
    Jeff Altman of Secure Endpoints discovered a flaw in the RPC library
    as used by MIT Kerberos kadmind server. An unauthenticated remote
    attacker could use this flaw to crash kadmind or possibly execute
    arbitrary code. This issue only affected systems with certain resource
    limits configured and did not affect systems using default resource
    limits used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. (CVE-2008-0947)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank MIT for reporting these issues.
    
    Multiple memory management flaws were discovered in the GSSAPI library
    used by MIT Kerberos. These flaws could possibly result in use of
    already freed memory or an attempt to free already freed memory blocks
    (double-free flaw), possibly causing a crash or arbitrary code
    execution. (CVE-2007-5901, CVE-2007-5971)
    
    In addition to the security issues resolved above, the following bugs
    were also fixed :
    
    * delegated krb5 credentials were not properly stored when SPNEGO was
    the underlying mechanism during GSSAPI authentication. Consequently,
    applications attempting to copy delegated Kerberos 5 credentials into
    a credential cache received an 'Invalid credential was supplied'
    message rather than a copy of the delegated credentials. With this
    update, SPNEGO credentials can be properly searched, allowing
    applications to copy delegated credentials as expected.
    
    * applications can initiate context acceptance (via
    gss_accept_sec_context) without passing a ret_flags value that would
    indicate that credentials were delegated. A delegated credential
    handle should have been returned in such instances. This updated
    package adds a temp_ret_flag that stores the credential status in the
    event no other ret_flags value is passed by an application calling
    gss_accept_sec_context.
    
    * kpasswd did not fallback to TCP on receipt of certain errors, or
    when a packet was too big for UDP. This update corrects this.
    
    * when the libkrb5 password-routine generated a set-password or
    change-password request, incorrect sequence numbers were generated for
    all requests subsequent to the first request. This caused password
    change requests to fail if the primary server was unavailable. This
    updated package corrects this by saving the sequence number value
    after the AP-REQ data is built and restoring this value before the
    request is generated.
    
    * when a user's password expired, kinit would not prompt that user to
    change the password, instead simply informing the user their password
    had expired. This update corrects this behavior: kinit now prompts for
    a new password to be set when a password has expired.
    
    All krb5 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
    contain backported fixes to address these vulnerabilities and fix
    these bugs."

    descriptionSeveral remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the kdc component of the krb5, a system for authenticating users and services on a network. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2008-0062 An unauthenticated remote attacker may cause a krb4-enabled KDC to crash, expose information, or execute arbitrary code. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could compromise the Kerberos key database and host security on the KDC host. - CVE-2008-0063 An unauthenticated remote attacker may cause a krb4-enabled KDC to expose information. It is theoretically possible for the exposed information to include secret key data on some platforms. - CVE-2008-0947 An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause memory corruption in the kadmind process, which is likely to cause kadmind to crash, resulting in a denial of service. It is at least theoretically possible for such corruption to result in database corruption or arbitrary code execution, though we have no such exploit and are not aware of any such exploits in use in the wild. In versions of MIT Kerberos shipped by Debian, this bug can only be triggered in configurations that allow large numbers of open file descriptors in a process.

    "Updated krb5 packages that resolve several issues and fix multiple
    bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
    
    This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the
    Red Hat Security Response Team.
    
    Kerberos is a network authentication system which allows clients and
    servers to authenticate to each other through use of symmetric
    encryption and a trusted third party, the KDC.
    
    A flaw was found in the way the MIT Kerberos Authentication Service
    and Key Distribution Center server (krb5kdc) handled Kerberos v4
    protocol packets. An unauthenticated remote attacker could use this
    flaw to crash the krb5kdc daemon, disclose portions of its memory, or
    possibly execute arbitrary code using malformed or truncated Kerberos
    v4 protocol requests. (CVE-2008-0062, CVE-2008-0063)
    
    This issue only affected krb5kdc with Kerberos v4 protocol
    compatibility enabled, which is the default setting on Red Hat
    Enterprise Linux 4. Kerberos v4 protocol support can be disabled by
    adding 'v4_mode=none' (without the quotes) to the '[kdcdefaults]'
    section of /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf.
    
    Jeff Altman of Secure Endpoints discovered a flaw in the RPC library
    as used by MIT Kerberos kadmind server. An unauthenticated remote
    attacker could use this flaw to crash kadmind or possibly execute
    arbitrary code. This issue only affected systems with certain resource
    limits configured and did not affect systems using default resource
    limits used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. (CVE-2008-0947)
    
    Red Hat would like to thank MIT for reporting these issues.
    
    Multiple memory management flaws were discovered in the GSSAPI library
    used by MIT Kerberos. These flaws could possibly result in use of
    already freed memory or an attempt to free already freed memory blocks
    (double-free flaw), possibly causing a crash or arbitrary code
    execution. (CVE-2007-5901, CVE-2007-5971)
    
    In addition to the security issues resolved above, the following bugs
    were also fixed :
    
    * delegated krb5 credentials were not properly stored when SPNEGO was
    the underlying mechanism during GSSAPI authentication. Consequently,
    applications attempting to copy delegated Kerberos 5 credentials into
    a credential cache received an 'Invalid credential was supplied'
    message rather than a copy of the delegated credentials. With this
    update, SPNEGO credentials can be properly searched, allowing
    applications to copy delegated credentials as expected.
    
    * applications can initiate context acceptance (via
    gss_accept_sec_context) without passing a ret_flags value that would
    indicate that credentials were delegated. A delegated credential
    handle should have been returned in such instances. This updated
    package adds a temp_ret_flag that stores the credential status in the
    event no other ret_flags value is passed by an application calling
    gss_accept_sec_context.
    
    * kpasswd did not fallback to TCP on receipt of certain errors, or
    when a packet was too big for UDP. This update corrects this.
    
    * when the libkrb5 password-routine generated a set-password or
    change-password request, incorrect sequence numbers were generated for
    all requests subsequent to the first request. This caused password
    change requests to fail if the primary server was unavailable. This
    updated package corrects this by saving the sequence number value
    after the AP-REQ data is built and restoring this value before the
    request is generated.
    
    * when a user's password expired, kinit would not prompt that user to
    change the password, instead simply informing the user their password
    had expired. This update corrects this behavior: kinit now prompts for
    a new password to be set when a password has expired.
    
    All krb5 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
    contain backported fixes to address these vulnerabilities and fix
    these bugs."

    NASL idGENTOO_GLSA-200803-31.NASL
    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200803-31 (MIT Kerberos 5: Multiple vulnerabilities) Two vulnerabilities were found in the Kerberos 4 support in KDC: A global variable is not set for some incoming message types, leading to a NULL pointer dereference or a double free() (CVE-2008-0062) and unused portions of a buffer are not properly cleared when generating an error message, which results in stack content being contained in a reply (CVE-2008-0063). Jeff Altman (Secure Endpoints) discovered a buffer overflow in the RPC library server code, used in the kadmin server, caused when too many file descriptors are opened (CVE-2008-0947). Venustech AD-LAB discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the GSSAPI library: usage of a freed variable in the gss_indicate_mechs() function (CVE-2007-5901) and a double free() vulnerability in the gss_krb5int_make_seal_token_v3() function (CVE-2007-5971). Impact : The first two vulnerabilities can be exploited by a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the host running krb5kdc, compromise the Kerberos key database or cause a Denial of Service. These bugs can only be triggered when Kerberos 4 support is enabled. The RPC related vulnerability can be exploited by a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash kadmind, and theoretically execute arbitrary code with root privileges or cause database corruption. This bug can only be triggered in configurations that allow large numbers of open file descriptors in a process. The GSSAPI vulnerabilities could be exploited by a remote attacker to cause Denial of Service conditions or possibly execute arbitrary code. Workaround : Kerberos 4 support can be disabled via disabling the
